Before we begin, it’s worth noting a few snags relating to emulation. First, emulation isn’t always plug-and-play – but we will outline how to get started with emulators we cover. Secondly, macOS may complain some of our recommended emulators are from unidentified developers, and therefore won’t launch them. To get around that, Control-click the re...
People often forget many Apple II features were based around gaming. The machine’s creator, Steve Wozniak, wanted the Apple II to play a decent game of Breakout, in order to impress his computer club chums. Hence this early entry into home computing hardware came with colour graphics, sound, and joystick connectivity. The simplest way of getting Ap...
Like with the Apple II, there are browser options for running a virtual Macintosh Plus on your Mac, such as the one at jamesfriend.com.au, although they’re typically limited in terms of the software you can try. Instead, Mini vMacis the emulator to use. Setup is simple: find and place vMac.ROM in the same directory as Mini vMac, and then drag a vir...
Should you want to delve into the Apple period between the Macintosh Plus and OS X, SheepShaver will emulate Mac OS 7.5.2 through 9.0.4. Set-up is a touch more involved than with earlier Apple computers. You’ll need a Mac ROM, named ‘Mac OS ROM’ and placed in the same folder as SheepShaver. You’ll also need a Mac OS install CD, and the relevant Mac...
Plenty of modern-day Mac users started out on old PCs. However, running old PC software on modern Macs requires DOSBox, a capable but sometimes fiddly and obtuse emulator (in part due to DOS itself being fiddly and obtuse). A far better bet is Boxer, a version of DOSBox designed specifically for Macs and ease of use. The welcome window enables you ...
OpenEmuwants to “change the world of videogame emulation”, and on the Mac it’s doing a great job. Rather than you using individual emulators, many of which haven’t been fully optimised for Mac, OpenEmu bundles everything into a single brilliantly designed app. This then becomes your central point for emulating a slew of systems, from those by Atari...
Having started life as a Pac-Man emulator in 1997, MAME has grown into a project that aims to preserve the entirety of arcade game history of the coin-operated variety. A rather nice side effect is being able to play said games if you install MAME. On Mac, there have been several distinct MAME releases over the years, and now we’re sadly some way f...
Still listed as the highest-selling single computer model of all-time, the C64 was huge in the 1980s, with a wealth of amazing games, many of which still stand up today. On macOS, you can choose between VirtualC64 and VICE, the former being more Mac-like and the latter more flexible. VirtualC64 needs C64 ROMs dragging to it on startup, after which ...
In the UK, the ZX Spectrum was the main competitor to the C64, and it’s ably emulated with Fuse. You’ll need to increase the virtual machine’s screen size using the View menu, unless you enjoy playing games on stamp-sized windows. Then load a game via File > Open File. One minor snag with Fuse is joysticks can be convoluted to set up and prone to g...
Finally, being that we’re a British site, we couldn’t ignore the BBC Micro. Created by Acorn for the BBC Computer Literacy Project, the machine ended up in 80 per cent of British schools. (If our experience was anything to go by, the things were broadly ignored by teachers, and mostly used by kids when it was pouring down during lunchtime – and onl...

Feb 11, 2023 · Running 1980s home computer software on your modern Mac is fun, but can be done in many different ways. Here's how to run retro Atari, Sinclair, and Commodore software on the latest hardware.
NOTE: Combat is a competitive 2 player game and will need a second Joystick to unlock its full gameplay. 1 Joystick can be used to learn your skills and practice moving, firing and rebounding your missiles. The action in Combat takes place on a variety of play fields with 3 different vehicles.
Nov 25, 2019 · Combat is one of the most recognized games in Atari 2600 history. People know it was the pack-in game with the 2600 we all know and love, but is it too primitive to play? Read on!

Aug 8, 2022 · Combat was, for many people, the first Atari 2600 game they ever played, as it was packaged with the system from 1977 to 1982, until it was replaced with Pac-Man. Combat is a two-player only game where each player takes control of a combat vehicle; either a tank, a bi-plane, or a jet.
